shows deficit, in comparing receipts

though the estimates for the next two
years give an apparent surplus, there is
not IL little reason for thinking that the
showing in conjecture is much more fla
vorable than it is likely to prove i'm real

dian budget is that the revenue has APP
parently reached point where n sur

neither by retrenchment nor by taxa

The Exact Situation.

Under flying head lines THE PALATKA
DAILY News of Friday publishes long
statement of facts with sworn affidavits
furnished that paper by Mr.. Mahlon
Gore, who is now in Tallahassee, CON
corning the alleged deal between Blox-
ham and the Times Union. The article
contains the affidavits of Ex-Governor
Drew and Senator Mann, of fernando
This places the matter before the peo-
pie, and cannot be denied any longer by
the Times Union. 1t stands convicted
of an alleged bargain between it and Mr.
BlOxham, and for Mr.. Jones to say any
more will only make matters worse. He
has repeatedly denied that there was a
bargain between him and Mr.. Bloxham,
but he had no idea that the proofs could
be brought to light. He stands convicted
before the people of Florida at his own
little game, and in failing to aid Mr..
Bloxham he has forever wrecked every
possible opportunity from him for the
United States Senatorship. This very
matter will cause Mr.. Bloxham's defeat,
for no honest member of the Legislature
could vote for him now.
But Mr.. Bloxham is not the first man
Mr.. Jones has ruined by his political
influence, There are others who feel
the disappointment of the efforts of "A
wOuld-be great leader among his people.
Bloxham's chances to be made Senator
are now doomed, and the days of Charles

The Russian Army.

A series of articles has appeared in the
FOrtHighTy Rerietr ON the present po-
sition of European politics which are at
tracing widespread attention on the
other side of the Atlantic. In the last of
these the anonymous writer, although
not protesting to be a military man,
maintains that Russia is abundantly able
to hold her own, both against Germany
and Austria; that sufficient consideration
has not been given to the magnitude of
her resources, the number of her inhab-
itants, and the size of her present and
potential army. He says: The total force
of trained men which ought to be easily
and rapidly modified by Russia, consid-
ering the figures of her contingents and
the character of her military system, Is
about 1000, 900 as against 1000, 900 for
Germany, and f,250, 900 for Austria.
More slowly, if she has guns for them
and guns, if not in stock would probably
be- pretty easily obtained-Russia could
place 100000 men in the field. The

Daghestan MOuntaineers.


q. Radde has written the following
account of the mOuntaineers of Daghes-
tan: ION my arrival at Kouroush, a
nest of the Lesghians hid away amid
rocks, | went to some pains to find
marked type of the population. From
am anthropological point of view the in
habItants of the Samur heights are a
mixed population. Brown hair Is most
common in both sexes, and light gray
eyes are very seldom seen among them.
Both men and women have very thin
heads of hair. and the men not only
shave their heads but cut the beard, so
as to leave only two narrow strips on
either side of the chin. The Jewish
type, which Is almost common in the
plain of Samur. is not to be met with
here. The women dress like their Tartar
sisters.
They take particular pride in their
shoes, which are embroidered, of differ
ent colors, and ornamented with gold
thread, and DIR. Radde considers them so
pretty and original as to- deserve book

Notes and Impressions of Recent Visit.
National Hotel Reporter
The present season commenced some
what late i'm Florida and throughout the
winter travel has been largely diverted
to California. Notwithstanding these
drawbacks, however, the season in Flor
ida has been a successful one, and all the
best hotels in the State have made money
since early in February. From March
To April all the principal resorts We're
crowded with the best class of pt ople
that bestow their patronage upon Amer
lean resort hotels. The ma JOrity of peO-
pie who go to Florida are experienced
travellers, and expect to pay liberal
prices for good accommodations The
talk which one occasionally hears about
exorbitant hotel rates in Florida is nom
sensical and Must. People of intelli-
gence fully understand the fact that to
successfully conduct first-class hotel
for three or four months in the far
South good prices must be obtained. a
ma jority of the leading hotels of Jack
sonville, st. Augustine, Palatka and
other resorts, are fitted up in a tirst-class
manner are as carefully managed and as
literally supplied with everything need
full. as the best resort hotels in the North.
To do this requires ability and nerve on
the part of the hotel proprietor and he
would be a fool who would attempt To
do business in this manner, and charge
his patrons less than siper day:
Travelling in Florida has of late years
been made comfortable and indeed lux
uriOus. Railways now lead in every di-
rection, and in the main they are well
equipped and carefully managed. The
steamers which run upon the various
rivers of the State have also been very
materially improved in recent years.
The old tubs which formerly did service
for passenger traffic have disappeared
never To return. and in their places We
handsomely equipped, carefully Differed
and making good time.
There is every reason to believe that
next season the hotels of Florida will en-
joy greater prosperity than they have
ever known in the past. The heavy in
tiuX of travel to California this year was
the result of shrewd and sagaciOus man
agement on the part of the railway peo-
pie. A ma Iority of tourists who have
returned from the Pacific coast declare.
however, that one visit is sufficient for a
lifetime. The railway journey is a long
and necessarily tedious one, and from
all accounts the climate is oftentimes
more than disappointing. Florida will
swarm next year with people who have
been to California this season and who.
having had enough of the GLORIOUS eli
mate of the Pacific slope, will now re-
turn with renewed feeling of loyalty to-
wards the sunny South. +. w. X.

Our Indian students.


On November 4. 1886. a photograph
was taken of group of Indian boys
and girls just after arriving at the Car
Isle School, at Hampton, Va, from Fort
Marion, Fla. They belonged to the CHR
icahua Apaches, the most barbarous of
the surviving Indian tribes and their faces
bore the marks of savage and ungOv-
erned characters. Four months later
the same group was again photographed
and the companion pictures speak ell
oquently for the value of the work at
Hampton. The shortened hair and con-
ventional clothing make a great differ
ence in the appearance of the groups;
but there is deeper change. Every
face is alert, intelligent and thoughtful.
Stolidity has given place to IA noticeable
refinement and earnestness of express
sion. Were the latter picture shown rs
that of a band of Eastern school chill
dren, it is safe to say that they would he
thought to have been chosen from among
the less insignificant of their class. That

mute evidence of its successful endeavoI
with these eleven savage minds after
only four months of civllizing infiuenc,
and training, leaves no doubt regarding
the excellence pf its work

4 Professional Libel Suit0r.


One of the most monstrous anomalies
in the law of libel is illustrated by the
series of actions in which Mr.. Joseph c.
Colledge is the plaintiff. This gentle
mans purity of character was impugned
in a telegram respecting the ''Kretch
Pirates, which was retailed by news
agency and published in half the news
papers in the kingdom. Incredible As it
may appear, the law actually gives Mr..
Colledge a right of action against every
one of these papers. and he has certainly
made the most of his advantage. Up to-
the present he has brought fOrty-six ac-
tions iii all, and of these thirty have
either been tried or settled. with the re-
suit that he has recovered g. G5S. The
helpless position of the defendants is
shown by the last trial, that against the
Nottingham EreHiHg Post, in which the
defendant paid ten guineas into court. a
very liberal compensation under the cir
cumstances, but the jury gave a verdict
for ttiD.

The clergy are the best natured men
in the world. No matter what kind of
theology saturates them they are almost
universally good story tellers. and they
have quick eye for the ludicrous. Once
